Toy-Filled Advent Calendars for Daily December Surprises
A toy-filled advent calendar gives children a small daily surprise through December, from figures and accessories to squishy toys.
Why people love it
Why it makes such a good gift
Some children are much more excited by tiny toys than sweets. A toy-filled advent calendar gives them something to open, arrange and return to, which can make the countdown feel more interactive.
The main thing is choosing a theme they will actually use. Character calendars are good for fans; squishy or fidget calendars suit children who like tactile surprises.
- Check age ratings and small parts.
- Avoid themes they have grown out of.
- Look for pieces that can be played with after Christmas.
